The Advantage Of Thermoplastics for the Timber and Forestry Industries

• Plastics are light weight, especially when compared to metals.
• Durable and corrosion resistant.
• Low Friction and Low Wear – increases part life and results in less down time.
• Cost effective – overall very economical to produce.
• Self-lubricating properties. This saves costs eliminating the use of lubrication fluids. External lubrication also causes problems with dust and grease build-up.
• Resistant to environmental decay – will not rot, swell, splinter or degrade.

Forest Application Examples:

• Linings,
• Guide profiles,
• Drive connectors,
• Slide shoes,
• Slide bushings,
• Wear blocks,
• Wear bars,
• Bin protectors,
• Sight glasses and
• Windows for timber mills,
